After about 2 months of work, and much frustration, I present Tankmen: Battle! Customize your very own Tankman, and fight through 10 factions of other fighters on this post-apocalyptic planet, in the year 20XX.

Please read the tutorial before complaining about not knowing how to play. This game has medals, a leaderboard, and plenty of unlockable parts for your own Tankman, so it should keep you busy for a while.

Special Thanks to Tom for medals, JohnnyUtah for such epic characters he made, and Night-mare for helping fix bugs.

I spent a lot of time on this, so please be fair with reviews and ratings! Enjoy the game.

EDIT: Fixed a couple of medal problems.
EDIT 2: Made it so Medals only popup once. Sorry about that.
EDIT 3: Various fixes, including the healing with machine gun thing. Sorry for all of the bugs, I should have debugged more.

READ MY NEWS POST FOR MORE INFO ON THE MAKING OF THIS GAME. THANK YOU.

I Wanted to Like This Game

The graphics are nice, the presentation looks a lot like Newgrounds, and the layout is simple and easy to use, but I just couldn't bring myself to like this game. The sound effects are repetitive, the animation is tweened rather poorly, and every battle is the same strategy! Attack, Barrier, Rocket until out of SP, Attack. I only died once, on an earlier level, and that was because I forgot to use Barrier. Way too easy, and it would have been nice if enemies charged up a super attack so you had a use for Defend. Maybe some overdrives as well.

As it is, the game is extremely bland, although I love the customization options. The stats also barely affect anything. I also noticed that the game equips strange weapons for you when you try to equip two-handed weapons when you're holding two one-handed weapons, or vice versa. This game needs way more levels, maybe a plotline, and more depth.
